Recursive Trucker's Hitch Fusion

FUSION CAPSULE PLUNGER RECURSIVE TRUCKER'S HITCH n = NUMBER OF LAYERS Fₒᵤₜ Fᵢₙ MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE = Fₒᵤₜ/Fᵢₙ = ⅓(2⁽²ⁿ ⁺ ¹⁾ + 1) ≈ ⅔4ⁿ MA(1) = 3:1 MA(5) = 683:1 MA(20) = 733,007,751,851:1 MA(50) = 845,100,400,152,152,934,331,135,470,251:1 THE INTERNATIONAL ATOMIC ENERGY AGENCY REGULATES THE RECURSIVE TRUCKER'S HITCH, SINCE THE UNLIMITED MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE IT OFFERS IS POWERFUL ENOUGH TO IGNITE FUSION.

A hand-drawn technical diagram shows a recursive trucker's hitch made from layered rope, connected to a fusion capsule and plunger. The joke is that the hitch provides absurdly unlimited mechanical advantage, so the International Atomic Energy Agency supposedly regulates it because it could generate enough force to ignite nuclear fusion. It is sent as an absurd pseudo-scientific reaction to an overpowered solution or an unnecessarily elaborate engineering idea.
